When you write: "I've never really been able to get WINOS2 to properly work, ",
What is not working ? When you describe "something" is not working you should also describe what is not working.
Otherwhise its kind of guess work us.
Anyway for WIN/OS2 to work you should have todo anything special. In some cases the WIN/OS2 full screen sessions work but the WIN/OS2 seamsless sessions do not function. This is hard to fix and a limitation of VSVGA.SYS. This is NOT limitation of Panorama, SNAP or GRADD. VSVGA.SYS is used by all of these drivers and this common shared driver is used for DOS and WIN/OS2 support.
Neil is right get the latest ACPI driver from AN (3.23.11 or higher). It does not resolve an ACPI issue but a kernel defect that can cause sometimes full screen sessions to hang.

I apologize for my lack of proper wording here, I was a bit short on time. When I said working, I meant it in the broadest of terms but I should've been more descriptive. To describe the issue I get a blinking cursor in a DOS window, no error codes or lockups, nothing.
I'll hopefully give this solution a shot when I'm back at my desk, here's to hoping it resolves the issue at hand
